The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.”

— Jesus (Luke 4:18-19)

Historically, in the Vineyard we have generalized ministry to include ministry to the poor, the sick and the lost. We are passionate towards growing in:

Building a reconciling, compassionate church...

Healing the physically, emotionally, and spiritually sick...

Working to bring healing to families and other social units that will result in peace and freedom for their members...

Speaking prophetically in word and deed to the social and political systems that imprison, abuse and destroy human life.

Feeding the hungry and clothing the poor.

Working for the release of slaves whether they are sex slaves, underpaid workers, employees in sweat shops, children enslaved in abusive labor conditions, kids serving in the military, or any other kinds of slavery that destroys human dignity.

Working for reconciliation between races, cultures, economic groups, churches, and religions.

Tending the earth so that it can sustain human life and be enjoyed by all according to God’s intention for his creation.

These are the things that are on God’s heart. These are what God is doing in the world - the Missio Dei. These are the ministries of the church that is living in the dynamic of the Kingdom of God. These are what our Lord has called, equipped, and commissioned the Vineyard to do - not part of them, but all of them. These are our raison d'etre - our reason to exist. - Berten A. Waggoner (former National Director of VineyardUSA)

Intensive Prayer

The Intensive Prayer Ministry focuses on specific physical, spiritual, and/or emotional areas of an individual's brokenness that require more concentrated healing prayer, such as renewal of the mind; granting of forgiveness; release from shame, guilt and depression; spiritual cleansing; and the breaking of curses and vows. Individuals who submit a prayer application receive prearranged prayer over a two to four week period. To request an application for Intensive Prayer, please contact the church office. Our Intensive Prayer teams have received specific training for ministering to those desiring to experience physical, spiritual and emotional inner healing through intensive prayer.
